Cheese like haloumi and feta are very low in fat, and not necessarily more than a garnish in most cases. For another animal product I’d add yogurt, but you also missed the big plant staples. Lots of pulses like beans and lentils, lots of nuts and seeds, hummus, lots and lots of rice, barley, and wheat products, whole olives in addition to the oil, that kind of thing. Of course lamb and mutton are also a source of protein and fat along with fish, but traditionally greens and beans took up the majority of calories with dairy in second, meat and fish in third.
So you’re not wrong, but cheese, fish, meat are all the tip of the pyramid, not the base. Of course as wealth has spreas people eat more fish and meat and cheese than they used to, and they suffer for it.
